China’s dinosaur model market (especially the sale of large animatronic dinosaurs) has been going on for nearly 20 years. Through the unremitting efforts of Zigong Dinosaur Industry Manufacturers, the dinosaur models here have been sold throughout the country and even around the world, almost occupying more than 80% of the market. It has to be said that this is the pride of China Zigong Dinosaur Industry.

In the past 20 years, there has also been an industry that accepts secondhand dinosaur models. Some exhibition companies or clients who want cheap products specialize in collecting dinosaur models that have been on display for several years or even more than 10 years, and sell them in a renovated manner to customers who need them, or use them for rental business.

Although the idea is good, it is also feasible, but the advantages and disadvantages of second-hand dinosaurs must also be asked to think clearly!

Advantage · really cheap

No doubt is that second-hand animatronic dinosaurs price must be much cheaper than the new one! Especially those whose service life has been more than 5 years, it can be described as a super discount product, and the price is basically about 1/3 of the new one. Of course, the longer the age, the cheaper the price.

Advantage · a lot of secondhand dinosaurs around the world

Twenty years of sales, so that thousands of animatronic dinosaur models stored in various entertainment sites. Some of these dinosaurs are in scenic spots, some are in theme parks, and some are in shopping malls… Many are dilapidated, and the people who own these dinosaurs are willing to deal the dinosaurs out. Various rental companies or second-hand entertainment facilities sales companies are willing to spend money to buy, and specialized in the collection of these dinosaurs. Of course, some operators of start-up scenic spots / entertainment areas are also willing to buy some second-hand dinosaurs to put in as landscape.

Advantage · refurbishment services offer (from manufacturers in Zigong China)

Since second-hand dinosaur models sales on the market, our Zigong dinosaur manufacturers also provide services of second-hand dinosaur refurbishment based on needs of clients. We specialize in providing sculptors and skin fabricators to recreate the dinosaur skin and reset the skin color, etc., so that the dinosaur looks like new.

Disadvantage · cheap but low-end

Although the secondhand buyers could get the dinosaurs in low prices, but most of these dinosaurs are already beyond recognition! Some dinosaurs’ faces, eyeballs, tails, claws, etc. have long been unrecognizable, and they look like pieces of junk. Once the unrecognizable dinosaurs are placed in the scenic spots or parks, it instantly gives a sense of cheap, which is harmful to the customer’s visit experience to the scenic spots / parks, and it will feel that this is a cheap place to play.

Disadvantage · inside most mechanical & electric frameworks out of work

The secondhand dinosaurs that are more than a decade old are unlikely to be able to start their internal appliances. You buy what exhibited dinosaur models without automatic movements (mouth opening and closing, eyes blinking, neck wiggling, tail wiggling, etc.). Then the entertainment experience is also greatly reduced. And the electrical equipment embedded in the dinosaur’s machinery is almost impossible to replace.

Disadvantage · paid refurbishment services also

In general, we need to send sculptors and skin-created workers to carry out renovation work. Taking into account the salaries of these people, the cost of materials, the travel budget, accommodation, etc. (paid by customers), it is also a foreseeable expenditure.
